I hadn't noticed but my Facebook addiction must have subsided because I received an email from Facebook saying "we haven't seen you for a while".<br /><br />The same for my blog. It was quite neglected for the first two months of 2012. I didn't miss it. Life was full enough as it was!<br /><br />Good on you for saying when enough is enough!<br /><br />xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09345662692259541964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738873041707893797.post-11240080043447901262012-04-06T20:45:57.796+08:002012-04-06T20:45:57.796+08:00Good for you!

I know I check quite frequently, and I need to stop.

I understand though the intent of the other people who do so. My friends and officemates, for example, are on FB for work-related stuff as well as we have to constantly be on the lookout for new ads being posted by our competitors, new videos that are spreading virally, etc.<br /><br />As for the other Filipinos who are FB addicts, I honestly cannot blame them. It is deep in our culture to constantly connect with others. We are actually in the Top 10 biggest FB users in the world. So you see, it was difficult at first to not always be there given that everybody else around me sometimes talk about what's on FB. I'm glad though that I was able to scoot out of the FB party and use it only when I need to contact a dear friend or relative.<br /><br />Thanks, Jen R and Brenda for dropping by.supermachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02971566837164758854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738873041707893797.post-45875753033783317502012-04-05T09:11:51.972+08:002012-04-05T09:11:51.972+08:00Jen R: I still think that the "Like" but...Jen R: I still think that the "Like" button is a thoughtful addition to all the wonderful apps of Facebook and I remain to be a serial Liker when I visit family and friends ;-)supermachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02971566837164758854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738873041707893797.post-67138306583664291342012-04-04T19:15:13.511+08:002012-04-04T19:15:13.511+08:00Ahhh you totally are right.

I'm sick of all the "like" going on!!! Good on your for standing up and not playing by the fb rules....seems to be much better I think than following the norm. Can you imagine how many people who just stare at their fb page rather than living their life hoping people will like them???Brenda @ 13 Acreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15936530633161291153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738873041707893797.post-68352299976123899582012-04-04T17:21:15.502+08:002012-04-04T17:21:15.502+08:00I like the freedom to choose what to like :)I like the freedom to choose what to like :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
